Steve watched as Danny led Grace to their seats in the stands, sure it was just a high school game but for Steve and Chin it was sharing a part of them. They were the quarterbacks in their time at the school. He quickly noticed the way Danny stood, how he spoke, it was the softer side of his Jersey friend. "It's great to meet you, finally." Steve said to the young girl in front of him. "Your Dad talks about you all the time."

"He talks about you a lot too." Grace said with a smile.

"Really?" Steve smiled at Danny, "Does he?"

"We, uh, commiserate. It's a father daughter thing." Danny said leaning back towards Steve's leg, resting his elbow on it as the rest of his team introduced themselves to his daughter.

As they talked and joked Danny kept his elbow on Steve's knee. Steve laughed when Grace asked for nachos Steve clapped Danny's shoulder as the shorter man stood, "Hey, get me some?"

Steve watched as his partner and Grace walked away thinking that she was lucky. To have a Dad, a real Dad who would do anything for her...including moving 5000 miles from home to see her for a few hours each week. "You good McGarrett?" Kono asked nudging him in the side.

"Uh, yeah...just watching the game." He quickly answered, turning his head toward the field.

"Clearly." She chuckled, looking towards her cousin.

"He's a good Dad." Steve said quietly, not really caring if the two heard him or not. Kono leaned briefly into his shoulder and gave a small smile.

"I heard this kid has quite the arm." Chin said recognizing the need to change the subject.

Not two seconds after he Steve felt his phone ringing, "Hey, I'm right in front of you. Got two guys on the field. Strapped." Steve looked around for Grace as he ran down onto the field with Chin.

After the shootout Steve yelled to Danny, "Go get Gracie...go!" Steve finished clearing the scene hoping that Danny had found her safe.

A half hour later he saw Danny on the phone flailing his arm and running his hand through his slicked back hair sans Grace. His ex-wife...he had to be talking to her...that was the only time Steve ever saw him get that worked up. "Can't wait to meet your ex." Steve said as he walked over to him.

"Yeah, and the two of you can plan my demise." Danny said shoving his phone back into his pocket.

"You send Gracie home with a uni?"

Danny nodded, "You called her Gracie."

"I did."

"Not Grace."

"Nope."

"Why?" Danny mumbled.

"Danno." Steve said quietly as he raised an eyebrow towards his partner.

"So what do we got?" Danny answered walking back towards the field ending the conversation.

They worked the case and Steve was privy to the one sided conversations as Danny spoke with lawyers and argued with Rachel. As Steve was getting ready to go to the pop up casino he made a quick call to the governor. There was no way Rachel could keep Gracie from his Partner...and there was no was Danny should feel alone on the island. He didn't understand how Rachel could even think about taking her away from him...or why they weren't still married in the first place.

As they were finishing up with paperwork Danny stuck his head into Steve's office and he got up from his desk and joined him in the hallway, first talking about Chin and his family before talking about Step-Stan. Steve teased him a bit before clapping him on the back, "Maybe you aren't as alone around here as you think, Danno."

When they walked into their conference room Steve knew what game was on in a heartbeat and he cringed as he saw the video of himself being tackled. "What are we watching?" He asked Chin wondering where he found the old footage.

"You getting your ass handed to you in the state championship." Kono laughed.

"Kukui put all the old games online." Chin explained.

"You just got sacked Boss." Kono teased.

"Should have passed."

"Why pass when you can run?" Steve smiled, remembering in detail what his team was soon to see.

"Ah, see now I have got to admit..."

"That was a beautiful play." Danny smiled at Steve.

"Thank you." Steve smiled again.

"Your Dad couldn't stop screaming." Chin told him.

"You were there with my Dad?"

"Yeah, I was fresh out of academy and he was my training officer. I tell you...any day Steve McGarrett was starting quarterback was an official day off."

"I just have one question." Danny said, "What's a quarterback doing with a number fifty?"

"No...it's five-o."

"Yeah?"

"It's not fifty. It is five, oh. It's what my Dad would call our family because we weren't native Hawaiians so he nicknamed us five-o's after the fiftieth state in the union...I don't know, it was his way of making us feel like we belonged someplace I guess." Steve said remembering the first time his father had said it.

"I like that...Five-0." Kono said with a smile.

"Five-O." Danny echoed putting his hand on his Partners back.

"Ohana." Chin smiled.

The four of them watched the rest of the game, Steve getting quieter and quieter as the game went on. By the end he was leaning so heavily against Danny the shorter man wrapped his arm around his hip.

Chin and Kono watched the two and Chin saw how hard it was on Steve so rather than starting another game he shut off the projector. "Ready to head home Cuz?" Chin asked, quickly leaving the two alone in their headquarters.

"Talk to me Steven." Danny said leading him to the chair Kono has vacated.

"My Mom was killed on her way home from that game." He said as tears filled his eyes. That answer was not what Danny expected. "They came down onto the field and Mom told me to celebrate with my friends...Dad was in uniform...told me he was proud of me...then they left..."

Steve leaned forward and rest his elbows on his knees and looking down at his shoes. Danny sat on the armrest and put his arm on his Partners shoulder and pulled him into his side. After a few minutes of silence Steve picked up his head and nodded. Together they walked down to the camero, Steve going to the passenger side and Danny drove out to the house on the North Shore.

Danny ordered dinner as they pulled onto the road and smiled when he looked over and saw his Partner asleep next to him. He was able to park and unlock the house before Steve followed him in.

Steve went out and sat on the lanai as Danny met the delivery guy at the door. "Hope you're hungry Babe." He said carrying the boxes of Chinese food out and setting them on the table between them. Together they ate and watched the sun set into the waves.

"Thank you for..." Danny started as the two went in and sat on the couch.

"Gracie is lucky to have a Dad like you." Steve said with a small nod as he leaned into the cushions.

"I'm lucky to have you for a Partner." Danny said looking over, "I don't know what I would do without her."

"You are a good Dad." Steve told him, his eyes clouding over.

"Your Dad...he loved you." Danny said turning towards him.

"Danno..." Steve said leaning into his friend.

"Your Dad loved you Steven." Danny said as he leaned further into his side.

"How are you so sure?"

"Look around this place Babe, pictures of you and Mary are all over...your rooms...just trust me." Danny said, his voice changing to be more like it was when he spoke to his daughter."

"He never said it...after that day...until the day he died...he never said it."

"As a Dad I can guarantee you that he loved you."

"Everything I ever did...I wanted to be like him...to make him proud of me...then I went and got him killed...right there...brains splattered...its all I hear."

"Before the football game...what was the last thing you guys did as a family?"

"Mom made us breakfast...like a full spread...made us all sit down and eat together."

"What were you like back then?"

"Sports were my life. Football...track...surfing...fishing... I hung out with other guys on the team...never really had a girlfriend...at least nothing serious."

"How long after your Mom died did you leave Hawaii?"

"Mary went to live with our Aunt right after Mom's funeral. Dad let me stay until I finished school...then it was straight into the academy.

"Is Hawaii home for you?"

"Hawaii is where I grew up...but home is about the people...where you feel safe."

"Do you think Hawaii will ever feel like home?" Danny asked leaning his lead onto Steve's shoulder.

"Hope so." Steve said leaning his head onto his Partners.

"Gracie was excited to meet her Uncle Steve today." Danny mumbled sleepily after a few minutes of silence, smiling slightly when he felt Steve move knowing he was smiling too. "M tired." Danny yawned.

"Sleep then." Steve yawned back as he closed his eyes. "Safe here Danno."
